""In 1845 the Sultan of Zanzibar had declared that the export of slaves was forbidden...British & French men-of-war patrolled the coast in search of Arab dhows bringing Negroes from the mainland. But none of this had made any real difference. With a tradition of at least 2,000 years of slaving behind them none of the east coast Arab dealers had as yet dreamed of giving up the trade" (6-7)." — Aug 01, 2026 07:35AM

""Age and experience by themselves don't increase your spiritual maturity. Becoming like Jesus doesn't happen incidentally or automatically with the passing of birthdays. Godliness, as 1 Timothy 4:7 says, requires a deliberate discipline. The Discipline of learning transforms accidental learners into intentional learners" (127-8)." — Jul 29, 2026 11:38AM

""'I want to be clear. You are an American agent pretending to be a People's Republic agent who pretended to be an American agent when we arrested you and who now wants to pretend to be a People's Republic agent for the benefit of your partner who actually is a People's Republic agent?' Turnbull took a moment to diagram it in his head. 'Yeah,' he said. 'That.'" (226)." — 7 hours, 6 min ago

“There is a legitimate argument over whether the death penalty effectively deters violent crime, although my personal observation is that not one of the criminals who have been executed over the years has ever killed again.”
